No submission of Cabinet list to King yet: Prayut

Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha on Friday said that he has not yet forwarded a list of his picks for a new Cabinet for royal endorsement.

“Not yet, and please take care of the country for me,” Prayut said briefly before departing to Vietnam, where is scheduled to attend the Apec Summit.

Prayut’s Cabinet is expected to undergo its fourth shake-up since the junta came to power in 2014 amid widespread criticism that the three-year-old military government has not done enough to improve economic performances.

News of the reshuffle has been anticipated since General Sirichai Distakul suddenly resigned from his Labour Minister position after a director-general under his supervision was shifted.
